Pleistocene epoch

Target entity: Pleistocene epoch
Context triple: [Pliocene epoch, followedBy, Pleistocene epoch]

• A. Pliocene epoch
  The Pliocene epoch was a geological time period roughly 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago marked by cooler global climates, the expansion of grasslands, and significant evolutionary developments among mammals and early hominins.
• B. Holocene
  The Holocene is the current geological epoch, beginning around 11,700 years ago, characterized by relatively stable climate conditions and the development of human civilizations.
• C. Cenozoic
  The Cenozoic is the current geological era, beginning about 66 million years ago, characterized by the rise and diversification of mammals and birds and the formation of many modern mountain ranges and continents.
• D. Paleogene
  The Paleogene is a geologic period that marks the beginning of the Cenozoic Era, characterized by the diversification of mammals and birds following the mass extinction that ended the age of dinosaurs.
• E. Jurassic Period
  The Jurassic Period was a major division of the Mesozoic Era characterized by warm climates, the dominance and diversification of dinosaurs, and the early evolution of birds.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
